Tasted buds are currently yuck-ed due to cigars smoked in last couple of days or coming down with the crud. The 10 does seem to be fuller bodied than the original. Sorry, no help. |

I never tried any of the old worlds I’m getting pretty sick of wine barrel finishes. The regular WP wasn’t my favorite but I’ve tried some Canada and MGP WP store picks that have been great at cask strength. The 15 year old one was good blind by itself but it didn’t stack up in a different blind tasting against a bunch of cask strength mgp rye. Proof so low it just didn’t register in comparison. I also bought the bottle for 40% off. Msrp of 200 or 180 or whatever it was would be way too high. |
| 5334. Author: MikeRobusto | Date: Wed, 1/2/2019, 8:45PM EST | |
Thanks for the input fellas I'll be on the lookout for a few things. I'm with you it just isn't drinking like the MSRP would suggest. |
